It became extinct in the early 16th century. When American ornithologist Alexander Wetmore described this species from subfossil remains which were found at Prosperous Bay, Saint Helena, he classified it into the new genus ''Aphanocrex''. However, in 1973 American paleontologist Storrs Olson synonymised this genus with the genus ''Atlantisia'' which other representative is the Inaccessible Island rail (''Atlantisia rogersi''). While Olson had considered it as congener of the Inaccessible Island rail, other scientists regarded it not even as close relative and so it was renamed into ''Aphanocrex''. The Saint Helena swamphen was relatively large and reached almost the size of the New Zealand weka (''Gallirallus australis''). In contrast to the weka it was more slender. Since Saint Helena was predator free until the sixteenth century, the swamphen had lost its ability to fly but it wings were better developed like the wings of the rails from Inaccessible Island and Ascension Island. Furthermore it had strong toes with long claws which give that species a good ability to climb and flutter up the steep valley walls. It fed probably on the eggs and the juveniles of several Saint Helena terrestrial and pelagic bird species and on snails. Like other ground-nesting birds such as the Saint Helena crake and the Saint Helena hoopoe it became a victim of alien predators like cats and rats which were brought to Saint Helena after 1502. ==Further reading== *Storrs L.
